Shewanella putrefaciens have a faster growth rate and strong spoilage potential at low temperatures for aquatic products. This study developed a nondestructive method for predicting the kinetic growth and spoilage of S. putrefaciens in bigeye tuna during cold storage at 4, 7 and 10 °C by electronic nose. According to the responses of electronic nose sensor P30/2, the fitted primary kinetic models (Gompertz and logistic models) and secondary model (square root function model) were able to better simulate the dynamic growth of S. putrefaciens, with high R2 and low RMSE values in the range of 0.96–0.99 and 0.021–0.061, respectively. A partial least squares (PLS) regression model based on both electronic nose sensor response values and electrical conductivity (EC) values predicted spoilage of S. putrefaciens in bigeye tuna more accurately than the PLS model based on sensor signal values only. In addition, SPME/GC-MS analysis suggested that 1-octen-3-ol, 2-nonanone, 2-heptanone, dimethyl disulfide and methylamine, N, N-dimethyl- are the key VOCs of tuna inoculated with S. putrefaciens.

This study investigates the physicochemical changes and water migration of Acinetobacter johnsonii (A), Shewanella putrefaciens (S), and cocultured A. johnsonii and S. putrefaciens (AS) inoculated into bigeye tuna during cold storage. The physicochemical indexes [fluorescence ratio (FR), total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), thiobarbituric acid (TBA), trimethylamine (TMA), peroxide value (POV), and pH] of bigeye tuna increased cold storage. A significant decrease in trapped water was found in the AS samples, and direct monitoring of the water dynamics was provided by low-field nuclear magnetic resonance. Samples inoculated with A. johnsonii and S. putrefaciens also induced the degradation of myofibrillar proteins and weakness of some Z-lines and M-lines. Higher values of physicochemical indexes and water dynamics were shown in the coculture of S. putrefaciens and A. johnsonii than in the other groups. Therefore, this paper reveals that the coculture of A. johnsonii and S. putrefaciens resulted in a bigeye tuna that was more easily spoiled when compared to the single culture. This study provides insight into the spoilage potential of A. johnsonii and S. putrefaciens during cold storage, which further assists in the application of appropriate technologies to keep the freshness of aquatic foods.

A preliminary research programme was carried out in order to study the acoustic wave reflection or target strength (TS) of tuna fish using a quantitative echo sounder (QES). The relationships between TS to fork length (FL) and swimbladder volume, for bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) and yellowfin tuna (T. albacares) are investigated. The TS of bigeye tuna was about 3 dB higher than yellowfin tuna when comparing species at the same size. The result can be correlated to the swimbladder volume differencebetween species. The relationship between TS and swimbladder volume was quantified for both species.Keywords: tuna fish, target strength, quantitative echo sounder

Although malodour formation on textiles and in washing machines has been reported to be a very relevant problem in domestic laundry, the processes leading to bad odours have not been studied intensively. In particular, the smell often described as “wet-and-dirty-dustcloth-like malodour” had not been reproduced previously. We developed a lab model based on a bacterial mixture of Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus hominis, and Corynebacterium jeikeium, which can produce this odour type and which might allow the detailed investigation of this problem and the development of counteractions. The model uses bacterial strains that have been isolated from malodourous textiles. We could also show that the three volatile compounds dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, and indole contribute considerably to the “wet-fabric-like” malodour. These substances were not only found to be formed in the malodour model but have already been identified in the literature as relevant malodourous substances.

The purpose of the current study was to supply the first information on age and growth for Thunnus obesus caught in the equatorial south-western Atlantic using dorsal spines, an approach that has been successfully employed for ageing tuna species. The study was conducted using a multi-model inference based on information theory for back-calculated and observed length-at-age data. Uncertainty associated with the parameter estimation was verified and results were compared to other accounts on the species, considering both the statistical and methodological contexts. Samples were collected in Natal city (Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil) from February 1999 to January 2000, of tuna vessels and from surveys, aimed at providing information on the Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the area around São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago. Validation using marginal increment indicated that one ring is deposited per year. Mean length-at-age ranged of 54.3 to 177.5 cm (fork length) for ages 1 to 9 years. Von Bertalanffy, Richards, and Gompertz models were considered suitable for the bigeye tuna. Hence, the model-averaged asymptotic length ¯L∞ was estimated. The averaged model generated in the present study by back-calculation was considered appropriate for describing the growth of T. obesus.
